- Fix the size issue with list boxes on mac. Was displaying the list
boxes with an improper size. Turns out it was just the wrong size
policies on the frame below.
- Ensure the main windows are fully displayed *before* initializing
subsystems. This ensures that the graphics system will properly start
up on macos, and allows the glitch fix.
- Made a workaround for weird QT glitch that would happen to the parent
of a pure native widget that also has internal painting fully
disabled. (Should definitely write an example and report this bug on
the QT forums)
- Had the wrong names set for the up/down widgets for sources/scenes
- Updated the settings dialog and gave most of the widgets actual object
names
- Added code for the settings window. Settings window should now at
least display.
Fixed a few files that went over 80 columns, mostly just a nitpack on my
part.
libobs/obs-nix.c had a rather bad case of leading whitespace.
Also, fixed the x86 obs-studio project files so that it would properly
output to the right directory. It couldn't find libobs.lib because
obs-studio's project settings had it outputting to a different place
than the rest of the projects.
- I seem to have fixed ths issues with the main preview widget. It
seems you just need to set the right window attributes to stop it from
breaking. Though when opengl is enabled, there appears to be a weird
background glitch in the Qt stuff -- I'm not entirely sure what's
going on. Bug in Qt?
Also fixed the layout issues, and the widget now properly resizes and
centers in to its parent widget.
- Prevent the render loop from accessing data if the data isn't valid.
Because obs->data is freed before the graphics stuff, it can cause
the graphics to keep trying to query the obs->data.displays_mutex
after it had already been destroyed.

Notes and details
--------------------------------------------------
Why was this done? Because wxWidgets was just lacking in many areas. I
know wxWidgets is designed to be used with native controls, and that's
great, but wxWidgets just is not a feature-complete toolkit for
multiplatform applications. It lacks in dialog editors, its code is
archaic and outdated, and I just feel frustrated every time I try to do
things with it.
Qt on the other hand.. I had to actually try Qt to realize how much
better it was as a toolkit. They've got everything from dialog editors,
to an IDE, a debugger, build tools, just everything, and it's all
top-notch and highly maintained. The focus of the toolkit is
application development, and they spend their time trying to help
people do exactly that: make programs. Great support, great tools,
and because of that, great toolkit. I just didn't want to alienate any
developers by being stubborn about native widgets.
There *are* some things that are rather lackluster about it and design
choices I disagree with though. For example, I realize that to have an
easy to use toolkit you have to have some level of code generation.
However, in my personal and humble opinion, moc just feels like a
terrible way to approach the problem. Even now I feel like there are a
variety of ways you could handle code generation and automatic
management of things like that. I don't like the idea of circumventing
the language itself like that. It feels like one giant massive hack.
--------------------------------------------------
Things that aren't working properly:
--------------------------------------------------
- Settings dialog is not implemented. The dialog is complete but the
code to handle the dialog hasn't been constructed yet.
- There is a problem with using Qt widgets as a device target on
windows, with at least OpenGL: if I have the preview widget
automatically resize itself, it seems to cause some sort of video
card failure that I don't understand.
- Because of the above, resizing the preview widget has been disabled
until I can figure out what's going on, so it's currently only a
32x32 area.
- Direct3D doesn't seem to render correctly either, seems that the
viewport is messed up or something. I'm sort of confused about
what's going on with it.
- The new main window seems to be triggering more race conditions than
the wxWidgets main window dialog did. I'm not entirely sure what's
going on here, but this may just be existing race conditions within
libobs itself that I just never spotted before (even though I tend to
be very thorough with race conditions any time I use variables
cross-thread)
Completely revamped the entire media i/o data and handlers. The
original idea was to have a system that would have connecting media
inputs and outputs, but at a certain point I realized that this was an
unnecessary complexity for what we wanted to do. (Also, it reminded me
of directshow filters, and I HATE directshow with a passion, and
wouldn't wish it upon my greatest enemy)
Now, audio/video outputs are connected to directly, with better callback
handlers, and will eventually have the ability to automatically handle
conversions such as 4:4:4 to 4:2:0 when connecting to an input that uses
them. Doing this will allow the video/audio i/o handlers to also
prevent duplicate conversion, as well as make it easier/simple to use.
My true goal for this is to make output and encoder plugins as simple to
create as possible. I want to be able to be able to create an output
plugin with almost no real hassle of having to worry about image
conversions, media inputs/outputs, etc. A plugin developer shouldn't
have to handle that sort of stuff when he/she doesn't really need to.
Plugins will be able to simply create a callback via obs_video() and/or
obs_audio(), and they will automatically receive the audio/video data in
the formats requested via a simple callback, without needing to do
almost anything else at all.
For one, I added a new member gs_window for future use.
The member is "display" which represents our connection to X11.
Ideally, we should use this specific connection to deal with our Window.
For now, it's disabled. Read comment for more information.
Secondly, wxGTK apparently doesn't map our window in some cases.
This causes the window ID passed to be bad and will stop (or segfault)
our program. This might be related to the first commit above.
For now, all this commit does is realize the window manually.
- Mixing still isn't implemented, but the audio system should be able
to start up, and mix at least once audio line for the time being.
Will have to write some test audio sources to verify things are
working properly, and build the rest of the output functionality.
- Made it so that when a source is added or removed from a scene it
will add a reference to sourceSceneRefs (std::unordered_map). Each
source adds a reference to that every time they are added to a scene,
and releases a reference from it when they are removed from a scene.
When the value reaches 0, the source is no longer in any scenes, and
is then marked for removal and destroyed.
Before, I was using the source internal reference counter, which is a
really bad thing to do because I don't know what might actually be
referencing it. So using a separate discrete reference counter for
the number of scenes it's in is better in this case.
- Added an extra comment regarding source removal
- Made is so that when a scene item is removed from the sources list
box, it removes the item based upon the GetClientData rather than by
its string name. This is done because there may be duplicate sources
in a particular scene, and it's important to remove the right one.
- When the remove source tool icon is clicked, it will now remove the
source from the scene.
- Fixed a bug where the scene item removal callback would add the scene
item to the list instead of removing it.
- Changed AddSourcePopup to AddSourcePopupMenu. Name actually confused
me once despite being the writer, so it was clearly a bad name.
Sources can now be added to scenes via user interface. It's a little
convoluted because everything has to work through OBS signals to ensure
that plugins/etc can modify the scenes/sources exernally.
Also, when switching scenes, it will properly list sources for the
scene you changed to.
The WX_UTF8 macro is primarily for convenience so you can input a
UTF-8 string into a wxWidgets function without having to do
wxString(string, wxConvUTF8) each time.
I added gl-x11 which allows compatibility with X11 (Xlib-based) and GLX.
I also added various functions to handle file finding based on FHS.
Various changes to autotools to both install files correctly and to configure correctly.
